This must be the most complete collection of early Christian Icons in the world. The topics are repetative and you need to be very interested to visIt. We had a guide who explained the central figusre of each item, and something of the person who comissioned it captured in smaller images around the edge. We had seen sufficient before we had viewed more than half. It's a place for the enthusiast.

This is a huge collection of icons some of which have a striking simplicity yet show great depth of feeling. This is particularly true of some of the depictions of the virgin and child. It is a pity that many of the smaller icons are hung too high on the walls so that it is hard to view them. I highly recommend a visit to the Foundation.

Very-very interested.Located in the historical centre of the old town of Nicosia, in the yard of Archbishopic Palace and next to 14th century Saint John Cathedral. There is an entrance fee but surely is worth while to be visited especially for those who love to see Byzantine Orthodox icons dated ages back.In this collection you will see the Kanakaria Mosaics and some other ancient icons that were stolen by antiquities' smugglers from the Turks' occupied area but now return back by the forreign authorities.

the very best of byzantium; including frescoes from a chapel painstakingly stored at menil. icons and mosaics are nicely displayed, but frequently lack information on provenance.

One of the very few places in the world to view greek orthodox ancient icons and learn about the different painting techniques, mosaics and much more

If you aren't interested in Byzantine art and icons then don't bother...you'll be bored.

This museum displays more than 300 stunningly preserved icons from churches all over Cyprus, including the Turkish part.

If you like Christian Art, you'll love this museum and gallery of Greek icons. Upstairs, there is also a display of fine Greek Cypriot art, by top artists like Andreas Narayan (sp.?). Wonderful collection, very well displayed.

A place which has to be visited...it's pure history....
